How tv Tell a Ohild's Age.

A special committee of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature inspected large
cotton mill at Salem, which is manned
almost exclusively by French Can
adams, mostly children. All sorts of
expedients are resorted to by the par
ents to obtain the necessary certificates
for children under the legal age of III
years. The test now applied in each
case is an examination of the teeth.
A dentist in the Salem school board
quickly detects the age of every ap-
plicant for certificate by the child's
teeth. Unless the proper molars are
there, due at II years, no certificate is
issued.

Red Headed Girls.
WHY A WHITE HORSE INVARIABLY AP-
PEARS WHEN THEY ARE SEEN.

According to the Macon zelegraph,
the discussion over the alleged sirnul-
taneous appearance upon the streets of
white horses and red-hesded girls has
reached point in the West that re-
minds one of the days of the 13, IA,
Is puzzle, the chestnut bell and the
"punch conductor" song. The super
stition is neatly hit off by Kansas
paper as follows:
"Whosoever says 80 is liar roared
a choleric old gentleman from Dexter,
standing in front of the city hall.
~rhese stories are got up to play upon
the credulity of country people. I'm
getting tired"
'Look there now," he shouted,
''theres red headed girl; red-headed
till you can't rest. Where's any white
hors.7 just as easy as rollin' off'n a
log to prove the originator of the fad
liar | don't believe there's white
horse within mile" But CHANGING
to gaze in the direction of the High
school hearse was seen, TO which, not
one, but two milk-white steeds were
hitched. The Dexter man tainted.
To this may be added that columns
have been written explanatory of the
white horse coincidence without salts
flying the public. ....
Possibly the reason why when a
red headed girl appears on the street q
white horse soon makes his appearance
will have to be sought for in history.
This suggestion is thrown out for
what it is worth: Away back in the
early Greek and Egyptian days red.
headed girls were very justly priced
above all the members of the sex.
Men fought, bled and died for their
smiles and they were quite the rage.
Cleopatra herself, we are told, was the
possessor of an auburn head, and Helen
of Troy, some contend, was equally
fortunate. As is we'll known, the be-
lief in the transmigration of souls was
then prevalent, based upon reasons now
lost to philosophy, and conspicuously
brave men killed in battle took the
forms, under the smiles of Jupiter, of
white horses. We can imagine then
that when gallant knights went forth
to battle after passionate adieus to
their auburn-haired Helens and Cleo
patras, and found themselves, after a
fierce conflict with the barbarians,
prancing steeds with snow flanks, that
memory of their lost loves dwelt in
their equine heads. 1t may be that
these fallowa in tho ehono of .,h;t.
horses are still following red-headed
girls around. OF course, in this prosaie
age, no live journal has time to argue
such a proposition, but the folks who
believe there are more things in heaven
and earth than are dreamed of in oul
philosophy, Horatio, can amuse them
selves with the suggestion. Nobody
will deny that the white horse is ar
animal Of taste.

A MaOri's Ancestors.

The Maories are logical reasoners, good
debaters, fond of contentious, and as well
up in the genealogy of their families as a
Scotch Highlander, and as stubborn,
when their rights are infringed upon. At
a land court a middle-aged Maori had
just finished making long speech claim
ing that his name should be inserted in
the grant to the exclusion of that of an
old, grizzled Maori, who sat quietly by
without moving q muscle of his counte-
nance, and heard the younger man ask
In the course of his harangue, with much
gesticulating: "Where are my ancestors
buried, but on this land, where / was
born and brought up2" When he had
ended, the old man-eater rose, throwing
of everything but a waist t-cloth, and
bounding across the room addressed the
court in this wise: "I have listened with
disgust and contempt to the words of

The Sea Heard Seventy Miles Away

There is a story that Mr.. Eliot Glover,
of Portland, formerly of this city, related
apropos of sounds out of the still sky. l
was in Pennington, said he, visiting my
uncle. On Christmas night 1 attended
the church festival with my relatives,
and it was a clear starlit night, for l
remember that at the close of the
Christmas tree festival they sent nne
straight up and seemed to hang over
us quite stationery. Then it took a
course in another direction and seemed
to float over toward Lewiston. The
next day was Sunday, and after breakfast
l walked out with my uncle. 1t was a
very still day, without a breeze, appar-
emily, from any quarter. Smoke rolled
up straight into the sky. We were
walking silently along when my uncle
stopped and said "What do you hear?"
1 listened. cit sounds like the roar
of the sea-" 1 said. 1t did sound like
1.-THE low monotone of the surf on the
shore, the ceaseless roar of an ocean in
a storm. "But," added, "of course it
is not the sea. 1t must be the wind. {"
"The wind2" asked my uncle; where do
you lGE LOOh dO lllOoS llNCo. 1hCl dlC
motionless. Look at the smoke. Look at
that grove of pines over there. They would
sing if any trees were singing, and they
are quiet" Sure enough it wasn't the
wind, and if not the wind what was it?
1t must be the ocean. We listened to it
for five minutes. 1t doomed and roared
sullenly. l was convinced that it was the
sea. In the afternoon met well known
Pennington gentleman out walking and
asked him if he heard any sound odd or
strange. He said that he heard the wind
in the trees. asked him if he could see
any trees in motion, and he said no. 1
told him 1 thought it was the sea. He
poohed at first but subsequently heard
him telling friend that he had heard the
sea roaring. That night we looked at
the map and found that the nearest points
at which the sea came were Boothbay and
Harpswell, and they are from seventy to
eighty miles as the birds fly. The next
day the newspapers brought reports of a
fearful storm along the coast with high
seas and damaging surf along the shore.
| have not hesitated to believe that we
heard the surf at Boothbay that Sunday
in Pennington. What current of upper
air brought it that seventy miles2 The
day was as calm as the calm of the ocean

weather additional men are stationed in
the after wbeelhouse to put the breaks on
the circle on the rudder head should any
thing go wrong with the wheel chains,
steering engine etc., in which case the
hand steering gear could be attached in
less than a minute; the remaining part OF
the watch, under the boatswain, attend
to making or shortening sail, washing
decks, etc. When the starboard watch
comes on deck the second officer relieves
the chief officer, the fourth the third Of
ficer, and the sixth the fifth officer, the
look-outs, ETC., being relieved by mem
bers of the watch coming on duty. Every
care and attention is paid by the officers
and look-outs, or it would be impossible
to navigate ocean steamers as safely as 1t
is done. This routine is carried on from
the beginning until the end of the pas
sage, and through sunshine and darkness,
storm and tempest, the only change made
is removing the lookout men from the
fore end of the ship, where they might
have chance of being washed away, to
the lookout bridge, or even to the main
bridge, but this latter is only done in
very bad weather.
Inc engineers (WlJn Ine exception Ol
the chief engineer, who does not keep a
watch) and firemen and trimmers are
divided into three watches, each of four
hours duration-this gives eight hours
on duty and sixteen hours off duty during
the day. In fine weather the engineers
and men have the greater part of the six
teen hours off duty to themselves, but in
thick and foggy weather the engineers
and some of the best men who have been
on watch for four hours, have to stand by
the starting gear and safety valve gear
for another four hours, supposing the
thick weather to continue for that time.
A moments thought will show that in
such event the watch on duty in the
engine room and stockhole must remain
in their stations and attend to whatever
is requisite in the ordinary work of run
ming the engines; and as it is just as
necessary that some one be stationed at
the starting and safety valve gear to stop
and reverse the engines should any order
come from the bridge, the engineers and
some of the men who have kept the
previous watch are told off to this duty.
